MODULE 3 TASKS
HTML TAGS

I can honestly say i didn't really have much difficulty doing this and i really enjoyed it to, learning all the different tags to use to make up a website it fun but also abit daunting cause there are alot to remember. I did really feel like i had achieved something when i had finished and it did make we feel a hole lot brighter for doing it as well. I think there is a big difference between HTML and blogging mostly because blogging is a site usually set up for you and u just add things like images and text, but HTML is more you can literally make a page look how u want it down to the littlest detail if you know the right tags that is plus this site I'm using for blogging didn't someone have to use HTML or something similar to even create this site in the first place. so yeah in my opion i prefer HTML and i wanna learn as much of it as possible lol its just remembering it all is the problem haha wish me luck.

WWW STANDARDS

Five things people should know when designing and writing on a website, as shown in Jakob Nielsens 1997 reading on the web article.

I think everything he stated in the article is still valid,people dont want lots of boring reading they want to be able to brush over a site and know what its all about.
I ran my blog site through the HTML validator on the w3 website and ended up with 308 errors which to me seems like a lot i did a scan down of the errors and here are an example of a few.Multiple comments in comment declaration,There is no attribute"name,description,type,default.Element variable undefined etc. I have to be honest with u when i say reading all this to me at the moment looks like gibberish but I'm guessing that the tags in the html code arnt regeristing properly or something.I guess thetas what happens when you do it the blog may without actually doing the HTML yourself. it looks like a lot of it was display type stuff.
When i think about it long and hard and read all the copyrighted stuff i probably have put up pictures or text that could be called copyright but I'm pretty sure most of it I've referenced to(at least i hope so anyway) but it does raise a good question about if i was to add the curtin logo to my page would that be copyright i think yes it would IF your didn't add some sort of reference stateing what it is and where is from, also i think you could get away with it if it was like an affiliate link to that website itself. still it makes me think hard about what to put on my page, it would suck to innocently put something up without realising its copyright then get in trouble for it.

BLOG

Blogs have been an interesting thing to explore and there are so many different ones out there,about all types of topics ranging from politics to video games haha actually there is one amusing blog i did find where a guy recalls his accounts of when he had a tape worm lol but the way he tells it is really funny haha i reakon you guys should check it out at. www.fray.com/drugs/worm/

WEB 2.0

The difference between the internet communications blinklist and the HTML version are pretty easy to spot because one is actually set out like a nice website with images and links but the HTML version is just basically a list of links on a plain white background which to me seems really boring but probably alittle easier to navigate id have to say.although you would probably benefit more from the blinklist because it just seems to have alot more there not only does it have the links to blogs etc it also has links to ads and stuff to.
